C. Analysis
"Auggie Wren's Christmas story" deals with truth and fabrication.
It could be a true story told to the author by a friend whose identity he promised to protect or a complete fiction fabricated by this friend or by Paul Auster himself. Similarly, both Auggie and Granny Ethel participate willingly in a masquerade of family reunification. They play a game of lies and pretense. They invest in an illusion and get their benefits, just like the narrator and the readers. It's all about which story you want to believe in.

Terminology
Terminology
A closing argument, summation, or summing up
A closing argument occurs after the presentation of evidence.
A closing argument may not contain any new information and may only use evidence introduced at trial.
In the United States, the plaintiff is generally entitled to open the argument.
The defendant usually goes second.
The plaintiff or prosecution is usually then permitted a final rebuttal argument.
Either party may waive their opportunity to present a closing argument.
In some countries (e.g. France or Germany), in criminal cases, the defendant's counsel always makes his closing argument last,
after the public prosecutor or any other party.
Sometimes the defendant is allowed to address the court directly after his or her counsel's closing argument.
In a criminal law case, the prosecution will restate all the evidence which helps prove each element of the offence.
In some cases, a judge's presentation of the jury instruction is also known as summing up. In this case, the judge is merely articulating the law and questions of fact upon which the jury is asked to deliberate.
The closing is often planned early in the trial planning process.[4] The attorneys will integrate the closing with the overall case strategy through either a theme and theory or, with more advanced strategies, a line of effort. The prosecution should also state the main points and be sure to give their side of the argument and to be emotional.
